AI Metrics Explained
PyreFi computes three proprietary scores for every token in the directory: Risk Score, Momentum Indicator, and Sentiment Score. This page explains how each score is built and how to use it.
Risk Score
0 = lowest riskRisk Score is a composite measure of how dangerous a token is to hold. A score of 0 means minimal detected risk; 100 means extreme risk. The score is not a price prediction — a high-risk token can still appreciate significantly.
Input signals (weighted)
Volatility (30%)
Rolling 30-day standard deviation of daily returns, normalized against a universe of tokens in the same market cap tier. Higher volatility = higher risk contribution.
Liquidity depth (25%)
Order book depth at 1% and 2% slippage levels from the best bid/ask. Tokens with thin order books can be moved dramatically by relatively small orders.
On-chain activity (20%)
Transaction count, unique address growth, and developer commit activity. Low or declining activity suggests weakening fundamentals.
Token age (15%)
Older tokens with longer track records receive a lower risk contribution from this factor. Tokens under 6 months old are treated as maximum risk on this axis.
Concentration risk (10%)
The percentage of supply held by the top 10 wallets (excluding known exchange wallets). High concentration creates dump risk.
| Score range | Label | Typical tokens |
|---|---|---|
| 0–20 | Low Risk | BTC, ETH, top 20 large-caps |
| 21–40 | Moderate Risk | Established mid-caps, blue-chip DeFi |
| 41–60 | Elevated Risk | Newer mid-caps, smaller DeFi protocols |
| 61–80 | High Risk | Small caps, new launches, low liquidity |
| 81–100 | Extreme Risk | Micro caps, meme tokens, very new projects |
Momentum Indicator
100 = strongest momentumMomentum Indicator is a forward-looking score that measures how much energy is behind a token's current trend. High momentum means the move has broad confirmation — it is not a prediction that the price will go up, but that current conditions support continuation.
Input signals (weighted)
Price trend strength (35%)
Rate of change across 1D, 7D, and 30D timeframes, weighted toward recent action. Captures both the magnitude and consistency of the current move.
Volume acceleration (30%)
Volume relative to 30-day average. A price move on 3x normal volume is a very different signal than the same move on 0.5x volume.
Social velocity (20%)
Rate of change in mentions, engagement, and sentiment across Twitter/X, Reddit, and Telegram — not the absolute level, but how fast it is growing.
Derivatives confirmation (15%)
Open interest trend and funding rate direction. Momentum confirmed by derivatives markets is more reliable than spot-only moves.
Sentiment Score
50 = neutralSentiment Score measures the overall attitude of the market toward a token at a given moment. It centers at 50 (neutral), with scores above 70 indicating broadly positive sentiment and below 30 indicating fear or negativity.
Data sources
News NLP (40%)
BERT-based sentiment classification of every news article mentioning the token from the past 7 days, weighted toward recency. Headlines and article bodies are both analyzed.
Twitter/X analysis (35%)
Sentiment of the top 500 posts by engagement from the past 24 hours. Bot accounts and known spam patterns are filtered before scoring.
Community channels (25%)
Telegram and Discord activity sentiment. Sourced from public channels and representative samples — not user-level surveillance.
NoteSentiment is a lagging indicator at extremes. When sentiment reaches 90+, it often precedes local tops because almost everyone who wants to buy already has. Use sentiment as a context signal, not as a primary entry/exit trigger.
